On 1 August, DVSA is updating the list of source materials for the theory test (ADI part 1 test). This can be found on GOV.UK.

The new materials will help your pupils gain the theoretical foundation to be successful in the ADI qualification process.

The additional source materials include:

• national standard for driving cars and light vans
• national standard for driver and rider training
• driving instructor code of practice
• carrying out driving tests: examiner guidance (DT1)

New questions

DVSA has also begun trialling new questions in the ADI part 1 test. After post-trial analysis the new questions will be published in Autumn 2025 to the live test as part of the usual programme of continuous improvement.
